Women are constantly judged by their appearance especially clothing, yet style is rarely framed as a tool for empowerment. Samantha Harman joins me on the podcast to unpack the societal pressures surrounding what women wear, the mental load of outfit choices, and the double standards when it comes to using style as a business tool.

We explore how personal style is the over looked business tool you didn't know you needed. It’s about stepping into your power, owning your worth, and using your wardrobe as a strategic asset to build your authority in business.

If you're opening your wardrobe and feeling despair not delight, this episode is a full on mic drop moment for your brain.

Meet Samantha Harman

Samantha Harman, The Style Editor, helps women in business scale to 6 and multi-6 figures using their wardrobes as a money-making branding tool.

As a young woman from a working class background in leadership in an elitist, male-dominated industry, Samantha understood first-hand the disparity between how men and women are judged when it comes to dressing for work.

She also dealt with body image hang-ups, once cried in a dressing room as shop assistants laughed and was turned down for jobs at 3 fashion companies because she was plus size.

Samantha is on a mission to rid the world of the toxic normalisation of women being sold products based on the weaponisation of their bodies against them.

Her book, helping you understand why you have nothing to wear and what to do about it, is published in late 2025.
